The new tools include a searchable online map showing where ADUs can be built in historic districts, a dedicated LPC team to help homeowners looking to build an ADU, & new resources for property owners interested in Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) for individual landmarks.

@NYCMayor and LPC released new tools as part of #BlockbyBlock to help New Yorkers create more housing in historic districts. The tools will help homeowners looking to add an ADU & property owners using landmark transfers to fund building upkeep while enabling new housing nearby.

Tang Wing visitors are welcomed by a scene from the toppling of the King George III statue after the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to troops. The Bowling Green fence built to protect the statue survived and was designated a New York City landmark in 1970.

LPC joined New York Historical, elected officials, and our fellow city agencies to celebrate the opening of the new Tang Wing for American Democracy. Approved by LPC in 2021, the new wing will serve as the future home of the American LGBTQ+ Museum starting next year.

Welcome back, Carroll Street Bridge! Built in 1889, it is one of New York City’s oldest bridges and one of only a few retractile bridges remaining nationwide; the iconic landmark is now open exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists.
